<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span>I am a retired cartographer who enjoys extending
his connection with and love of mapping by contributing to OpenStreetMap
(OSM). My current project is to improve Public Rights of Way (PROW)
attributes and add their PROW and Chiltern Society references to ways in
OSM. I am concentrating on Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire because that is
my geographical area. Their local authorities make available downloads of
their Public Rights of Way and I have Ordnance Survey OpenData civil parish
boundary data, too. It would be most useful to have a digital boundary of
the Chilterns AONB. I have searched the internet and cannot find such a
file to download. I communicated with Lucy Murfett, Planning Officer at
Chilterns Conservation Board and received this reply:</span></p>

are able to give your time to improving this map resource. I am attaching an

knowledgeable about how to share layers or know whether we have permission to do
this. Have you tried accessing the AONB boundary on the Government’s
websites:</font></span></p>
